← Back to the Paris Series 🗼
A flea-market victory, a scooter that gave up mid-hill (Paris voted them out anyway — 89% said allez, ouste), a close call at the Sacré-Cœur, and one last sunset from the Tour Montparnasse — t'inquiète, you're ready. It could only be... Paris Series Test B 🛴🥷🌇
✅ A quick, simple (dare I say, fun?) window into how your French is doing.
All the colloquial phrases were included in these Paris episodes, so it should keep you accountable and fit in a nice bit of review.
Instructions: Choose the best answer for each question. Mark your answers and use the scoring guide at the end to determine your level. 👍🏼
